RIOT At BosToN.

Cars WRECKED end Pollosmen stonsd-Tho
strikers Aaaks Things mighty Unplsasant.
BosfoN, Feb. 9o.-As serious riot occurred
In East Cambridge this afternoon % . 10.
suit Of the recent street car tie-up. Short
lyafter noon large crowd Of strikers and
their sympathisers gathered on Main
street, Cambridgeport, and as the various
cars Of the Cambridge line passed, the
conductors and drivers were hooted
40 "scabs. |" At 1850 p. m.
there was . great mob at the
junction Of the Webster-street line with
that on Main street, and as car turned
into Webster avenue the mob began hurl-
Ing bricks and stones ct the car and its 90.
cupants. By the time the car got through
the crowd IL was complete wreck. Each
succeeding car was similarly treated un-
til no less than five cars had been badly
damaged. Then the police were telephon-
ed for and within twenty minutes large
force Of officers appeared ON the scene.
The mob had by this time been worked up
to high degree Of excitement and when
the officers attempted to disperse the
crowd they met with q determined re.
sistance. Bricks and stones were thrown
at the police and many Of the officers
were injured. The police then charged
the mob with drawn revolvers and it in
stantly scattered in all directions. About
dozen Of the strikers were arrested and
conveyed to the police station. A little
later the mob assembled again
further down the avenue and wrecked an
other car. The police, reinforced BY .
mounted squad, now charged the crowd on
the 'double quick" and the mob dispersed
after discharging volley Of bricks at the
police. These missiles took effect in at
least dozen cases, and as many officers
were more or less seriously injured An
other lot Of prisoners was taken, and the
station-housewas filled with those arrested.
None Of those injured are thought to be
fatally hurt. There was no further trou.
BILE after the last effective dispersion Of
the mob. In South Boston to-day there
were few minor disturbances between
individual strikers and ''scabs," and Q
number on both sides were arrested, but
the cars Of the company were not inter-
fered with. In this section both sides are
firm and the outcome is still uncertain.

Dollars short The state Not Only
Robbed, but the Prisoners - Well.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 1S.-A few days
since q committee from the House of Rep
resentatives, majority Of which is COM
posed Of Republican,, went to Jefferson-
vile prison and commenced q searching
inquiry. The revelations made up to yes
terday caused one member Of the COM
mittee to express the belief that Warden
Howard would be dismissed as soon as
possible after the report Of the COM
mittee had been read and acted upon
but no one was prepared for the startling
disclosures made to-day. When the Sen
ate committee made their investigation
they demanded that the money belonging
to the State be shown them, and after
some demurring Howard sent to bank
and o. 900 was brought to the committee,
the members Of which were informed that
it was the States money. The House COM
mittee, to-day, discovered that Of this q, 900
not one dollar belonged either to the State
or to the warden. Seven thousand dollars
Of the money was borrowed from friends
for the occasion, and 2,000 Of It was GER
tifcate Of deposit which Howard obtained
from time convict named Saunders, on Q
promise to secure him q pardon. Deputy
Auditor Of State Coons has been investi-
eating Howard's books, and finds that his
accounts are short for large sum-how
much can not vet be stated, but the amount
will, it is thought, range between e8O, 600
and $4,000 The steward and the
directors Of the prison are impli-
Gated and the State will be un-
able to recover any Of the money
for the reason that the directors enter
tanned very high opinion of Howard's
honesty, and allowed him to act as war
den without giving bonds. Tonight How
ard is under surveillance by detectives,
and some Of his friends are also keeping
watch on him, fearing that he may commit
suicide. He is brother Of Congressman
Jonas G. Howard, and has been warden
Of the Southern Penitentiary since 1875.
An examination of the '.convict CASH
book" shows to be due the prisoners on in
dividual accounts about $500. OF this
um not one cent can be found, the warden
having made way with it. The Overtime
account" is in like condition, and no less
than 5000 has been stolen from the pris-
oners on this account.

Tho scent Of briar- bloom,
sweetest Of sweets and fairest of MI flowers
Among wealth OF dolicato blossoming,
Tho blackborry-bramble crocps and hides,
or towers
About tho budding shrubs. with clasp
and cling
lowering tho realm of spring.
Roses arc warmer with their passion red,
Lilies ar0 Queonlicr with their hearts of
snow,
Magnolia cups II heavier inccnso shed,
But when 1 would be tranced with sweet
Igo
Where the sharp briers grow.
Brave must tho hand be, which would bear
away
Their snowy length and dare tho threat
ened doom,
Yet when is past my woodland holiday,
l can but smile Mt wounds and deck my
With wrcaths OF briar-bloom.
Some souls l love arc trimmed with flowers
like these,
Reclnso and shrinking from tho broadcast
day,
And full Of delicate fragranccs-
Yet with keen pride to hold false friends
ut bay,
And keep the world away.
